General Notes

A lot of people have said good things about this restaurant, but I unfortunately had one of my worst restaurant experiences here. The portions were small and the food was overpriced and simply not very good. The service was extremely slow. I would absolutely not recommend coming here. It's not worth your money.


Positives

> The only positive I can think of is that both the interior and outdoor environment are nice and romantic.


Negatives

> The food is simply way too expensive and portions are tiny. To put things in perspective, we ordered a "Souper Salad" for $12 as an appetizer, and it came with like 3 slices of zucchini and a few ounces of soup.
> The food was mediocre at best. The best part of the food was dessert, which was not even that good. That's not a good sign. Even the breadsticks were hard and awful.
> The service is extremely slow. The room was way too dark for my personal preference.


Dishes Tasted

  • ★★☆☆ Halibut
  • ☆☆☆☆ Lamb loin -- This dish tasted absolutely nothing like lamb and was lackluster in flavor.
  • ★★☆☆ Scallops -- Tasted nice but tiny portion - just two scallops.
  • ☆☆☆☆ Souper Salad -- Essentially a tiny bit of zucchini under a small portion of sauce
